Masonry and Stone NZ Limestone Cladding:
Some years ago, an architect approached us about a client that wanted a lightweight New Zealand masonry and stone cladding (like our Schist product), but not linear looking and not grey in colour (so maybe not Schist). They were seeking something in warmer tones, and with a more rounded, organic shape. After much looking around, product development and the building of sample walls, our Te Kuiti Limestone product was born. The concept and system are the same as we use for our schist cladding – raw stone cut into flat or corner pieces with a natural face, shaped and then glued individually to the substrate by a competent stonemason. The demand for this NZ stone cladding has grown significantly, with the warmer, sometimes white-washed look of this North island stone proving to be a popular choice for both interior and exterior projects.

Why is it that we find flowing water calming, that having plants in our living spaces improves our mood or that we feel so much better after a walk in the fresh air? Being connected to nature is good for us, we know it intuitively and the research tells us as much. At a time when we are increasingly disconnected from the world outside our front door, Island Stone gives you the chance to have a slice of nature where you live and work every day.
Our range of tiles and claddings offers a myriad of opportunities to have natural stone as a feature in your next project, whether in a classic, understated way, or where innovative design takes centre stage.
Nothing you will see in the Island Stone range is ‘off the shelf’ – these are our designs and each product must meet our strict quality standards before we put the Island Stone name to it.
From the earliest conceptual beginnings through to the end-product being available for your next project, Island Stone controls the entire process. We design it, source the raw material and in most cases produce it in our own purpose-built factories. Where we don’t make the product ourselves, we form strong partnerships with those who we contract to do it on our behalf.
So, if you still don’t find what you are looking for, feel free to talk to us about custom design. After all, sourcing, cutting and shaping stone is what we do! Give us a call.
